Mackinac Island first became a popular summer travel destination during the post-Civil War industrial age before the automobile, when vacationers traveled by large lake excursion boats from Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit. To this day, cars are not allowed on the island.

By the 1890s, wealthy industrialists began building their own summer cottages on the island. It is also the location of the Michigan Governor's summer house.
